Now that everything has been changed to read what it needs directly out of the `packed-refs` file, `packed_ref_store` doesn't need to maintain a `ref_cache` at all. So get rid of it. First of all, this will save a lot of memory and lots of little allocations. Instead of needing to store complicated parsed data structures in memory, we just mmap the file (potentially sharing memory with other processes) and parse only what we need. Moreover, since the mmapped access to the file reads only the parts of the file that it needs, this might save reading all of the data from disk at all (at least if the file starts out sorted).
